Overview

  • Elden Ring Nightreign launched on May 29 across PC, PlayStation and Xbox, introducing eight Nightfarers with unique abilities.
  • Players drop into Limveld’s tightening Night’s Tide to gather power over two days before facing one of eight Nightlord boss rushes.
  • The core co-op design for three players is undercut by a challenging solo mode that scales enemies without teammate support.
  • Password-based matchmaking replaces cross-play and the game omits voice chat, relying on pings for in-match coordination.
  • FromSoftware has confirmed post-launch support, including a deluxe edition with art and soundtrack plus new DLC characters and bosses by Q4 2025.
